Phish Cram the Jams and Trampolines Onto Cubicle-Sized Stage for ‘Tiny Desk’ Concert
Phish staged perhaps their smallest gig in decades as they packed into a cubicle for NPR’s latest Tiny Desk concert.
“When we started the band, we used to practice in a room exactly this size… it was probably smaller,” Anastasio said during the Tiny Desk gig, which opened with a rendition of “Sigma Oasis” that featured a musical nod to NPR’s All Things Considered theme. After those three songs and 25 minutes, the Tiny Desk concert ended, and credits rolled… but in true Phish fashion, the band reemerged for an encore, playing two of their most popular quasi-hits ( even though they admittedly have no hits), “Sample in a Jar” and “Chalk Dust Torture.” The trek, which includes the band’s Mondegreen festival in Delaware, concludes with a four-night stand at Colorado’s Dick’s Sporting Goods Park from August 29 to September 1.
